“Me tembló el alma. ¿Qué hacer, qué podría hacer para triunfar, para tener dinero, mucho dinero? [...] comprendí que nunca me resignaría a la vida penuriosa que sobrellevaban naturalmente la mayoría de los hombres”
― Roberto Arlt, El juguete rabioso

“The problem is, you can't tell people these things. They'll think you're crazy. And I say to myself: What can I do with this life inside me? I'd like to give it ... to make a present of it ... to go up to people and tell them: You need to be joyful! You know? You have to play at being pirates ... to build cities of marble ... to laugh ... to set off firecrackers”
― Roberto Arlt, El juguete rabioso

“Symbolic of life, hair bolts from our head[s]. Like the earth, it can be harvested, but it will rise again. We can change its color and texture when the mood strikes us, but in time it will return to its original form, just as Nature will in time turn our precisely laid-out cities into a weed-way.”
― Diane Ackerman , A Natural History of the Senses
